Tracks have been released now, CLICK HERE to buy. What a feast ! We received 196 submissions, which is amazing! Thank you for investing your time fot this project. We knew the selection process would be hard, and yes, it was a pain! We had to drop good remixes because of the sake of a suitable release which follows the concept of FLASH. At the end we decided on the most suitable remixes. We took more than we planned to take and we will release them digitally first. If the sales are good and would recoup a vinyl production we will press a vinyl of the four best selling tracks on the release. The winners are contacted, their tracks will be mastered and soon released on FLASH. More info coming soon 🙂

The real strength of this remix is located in the lower part of the frequency spectrum. This work needs to be enjoyed on a soundsystem providing sufficient bass. The groove is generated through the kick, bass and rhythmic melody cuts. This will work on the club dancefloor. RICARDO did not care too much about the original melody, it's all about rhythmic and groove here.

This is the dancefloor weapon for Florian here. He knows Fabian already from a former release he had on his label, Ihewas surprised that he delivered a remix, but everybody was welcome to take part so it was a nice surprise, especially because he delivered an awesome club tune with a mindblowing straightness and oldschool piano chords! This remix is the one which will get a place in the peak time slot of Florian's dj sets. Powerful and strong, but still kind of deep and cool.

ECKBRECHT took a bit of a risk, he completely changed the tempo, rhythmic and sounddesign. The rough metallic sounds he used were assembled a single feeling or moment of time, carried by the soft melody pads. Florian did not think of a style or genre while listening to this work, I was just thinking of a moment of time somewhere. Outstanding work!

Florian loves ambient and triphop and the feeling of BETEKs remix reminds him on these genres. His reinterpretation brings the musical idea of the original into another shape and sphere. In addition to a good musical production it also sounds outstanding and clear.

BMI Techno Seminar (Steve Lischinsky Remix) by Steve Lischinsky

The kick at the beginning is just perfect, also the sounddesign of the whole remix. It sounds super-clear and tight. The vocals are absolutely amazing in combination with the rhythmic melody and the strings in the break make it to one of the best remixes within this contest.

This remix gives a special largeness to the musical idea, it took Florian quite a long time to figure out what he actually likes on this remix, but it at the end it doesn't matter. iI is just a good work with very suitable vocals and sounddesign. He can feel it.

This song is a positive and powerful reinterpretation of the original, the additional voice sample and bassline transfer the original melody into a completely new direction. Perfectly harmonic and well structured!

These tracks are remixes of Florian Meindl's "The Way it Took us" tune, which he produced live on WebTV during two sessions lasting each 4 hours @ Berlin Mitte Institut.

No, not everyone is bad (none of them is “bad” I guess), maybe “unbalanced taste” describes it better..

Sure. Anyways, diversity has to be in the same level of quality I guess, the it becomes a strong argument. What about Yaniçar Remix, Jaxx Remix, plunk.ton Remix or Djordje Popovic Rmx? just to mention few.

Yes, of course. The ones you mentioned where in strong competition to for example Steve and Fabian and basically lost against them. We didn't only want to have house smashers in our pre-selection because so many remixed that way, so even some of the HQ housy remixes had to be excluded and make space for other musical approaches, which where more interesting.

as Federico said, what a coincidence to see florians friends up there, you must think everyone was born yesterday ? this is not the 1st time producers have used sound cloud for shameless promotion,

sowie sound co, wasn't even a member of soundcloud, then the very second the competition started , in he comes, following nobody only florian and in 1 group,,oh look,hes from Germany too, and hes already got stuff out on a label ? so why is he in the comp, i mean lets look at the Oban mix, this is by john templeton, and its an amazing tune, it got just as much feedback as the sowie sound co track, yet it isnt in the final 10, why ? because Oban is already on a label releasing music so you didn't pick him for the final, you try to tell me his track isnt good enough ?? BOLLOX, but sowie is on a label aswell, yet he is in the final,

all that happened here is : you built up the hopes of young producers and budding artists on sound cloud, and you just promoted the shit out of florian.. thats all ,its not rocket science, you only left feeback on the first 50 entry's and the last 50, you never even bothered to listen to half of them either. many pro and pro light users, who can see their stats have told me you don't even show up on the stats list as played, so you didnt even listen the all the entrys, kinda sad really….

As much as I also complained about the selection, I think you´re not fair. After all the tracks you´re talking about defenitly are among the best in the competition. After all there are easier and more efficient ways to promote yourself. I guess its a good occasion for a lot of “young producers” to learn that its not that easy..

Well, what you wrote is simply not true, apart from that this is partly also a tool of promotion. We dont even know the sowieso guys and we did listen to all tracks. Which remix did you do? Florian knows only one guy of the remixers: Fabian. And check the votes, he is among the best voted by others. Everybody had the chance to take part, and there are no objectives measures to include or exclude remixes. There are no guarentees for nothing, apart from that everybody was allowed to take part.

This is btw. the first remix contest we host – are these reactions usual for other contests? Sorry for asking, but I am confused that people mistake a free endeavour with any rational guarentees they claim the be objective.

My simple conclusion and of course objective since I speak only by myself: The competition was extraordinary talented! Hard to find such a pool of talents again, in just one contest, there is no doubt the amount of great producers who took part in it. Best luck to everyone, I hear good things are coming up.

Notice: Final results will be published sometime around next weekend. Florian is on short vacation and wants to listen to his finalists properly on his studio soundsystem again. Will let you know asap! Sorry for the delay, good thing takes a while, sometimes even longer then thought. We know you guys are desperately waiting for the results, Florian will hurry ! We are chasing him .. 🙂

Thanks everybody for your support & feedback!! Also a thankyou to Berlin Mitte Institut and Florian Meindl, which made this contest possible.You had a lot of work but did a great job!! I'm really looking forward to the release & hope you all will support it. Best regards, Steve
